Come sempre un evento organizzato con la massima cura e attenzione quello di @gruppomeregalli , fatto ieri a Roma per presentare con orgoglio le new entry del suo portfolio. Una continua ricerca dell’eccellenza, a partire dalla Location selezionata per presentare il tutto: la bellissima sala dell’hotel @hotel_splendide_royal_roma dalla quale si può godere una vista spettacolare sulla Capitale. Ed ecco alcune delle nuove realtà che sono entrate a far parte della distribuzione di una delle realtà che opera nel mondo del vino dal 1856 e che si distingue per la costante ricerca di eccellenze, che racchiudono referenze iconiche e novità dal grande potenziale. 🔸 #RoncdalDiaul Cantina friulana creata in collaborazione tra Meregalli e @jbastianich che presenta una #ribollagialla e un #friulano. 🔸 @gulficantina in Sicilia con una gamma molto ampia che proviene dalla zona originaria di Monte Gulfi vicino Iblea , che presenta 2 #nerod’Avola e 2 #cerasuolodivittoria , poi dalla zona di Pachino dove producono 4 Cru che evidenziano le sfumature dei diversi Terroir , e infine dalla zona dell’Etna dove oltre al tipico vino fatto con #nerellomascalese e #nerellocappuccio , producono anche un #pinotnero. 🔸 @marchesidigresy in Piemonte , l’iconica cantina che propone vari blend di vitigni internazionali che affiancano il Rinomato nebbiolo declinato in diverse etichette, che riescono a leggere le sfumature delle varie particelle in modo del tutto eccezionale. 🔸 @le_ragnaie con il suo Brunello di Montalcino che si presenta ogni anno più interessante, così come il suo Rosso di Montalcino . 🔸 @castellodelterriccio Altra cantina storica , che sorge a Castellina marittima in provincia di Pisa e che valorizza il suo territorio con 3 storiche etichette , capitanate dal mitico Lupicaia. 🔹 @new_chapter_gruener dall’Austria porta un vitigno che sta comunicando a farsi conoscere e amare nella nostra penisola : il #gruenervertliner . 🔹 @bonnaireclouet ci fa fare un salto in francia , presentandoci una serie di Cramant che prediligono lo Chardonnay in purezza esprimendolo con varie soste sui lieviti: da un minimo di 30 mesi fino ad arrivare a 84 mesi.

Nerello Mascalese 🍷

[lesommelierwine]

Another tasty little number from @vinolauria. This organic red is made from 100% Nerello Mascalese, an indigenous Sicilian variety more commonly thought to be found on the volcanic soils of Mount Etna. The winery is located in Alcamo, where just 40 years ago, Nerello Mascalese was at home, and was actually the only red grape found in the area. The clay soils of Alcamo coupled with stainless steel fermentation produce a wine with excellent fruit intensity and silky tannins. . . Vino Lauria is a family owed winery located in the heart of North-Western Sicily, where third generation winemaker Vito Lauria crafts wines of great freshness, excellent acidity and lower alcohol. Their mandate is to create wines of elegance, balance, and lightness, which this wine delivers in spades. . . #organic #wine #sicily #italy #italianwine #nerellomascalese (at Le Sommelier, Wine Agency) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvy4FaEhylQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uk29ovlzzzrm

Porquê nem tudo são rosas: um vinho OXIDADO! 😩 . Estava bastante curioso para provar este “Tascante Ghiaia Nera” da @TascaDAlmerita — um tinto 100% Nerello Mascalese proveniente da encosta norte do Monte Etna (vulcão que entrou em erupção semana passada e está causando o maior transtorno na Sicília). . Mas logo ao abrir a garrafa a rolha manchada já me preocupou... Na taça, o vinho apresentava coloração granada, com halo castanho, mas ainda com algum brilho. Os aromas não mostravam nenhuma fruta mas um cheiro leve de vinagre e de maçã “passada”... Na boca o vinho estava “chato”, sem frescor ou fruta, e com taninos desagradáveis. . Que pena! Infelizmente, defeitos como esse são mais comuns do que se imagina! Muitas vezes, quando são mais discretos, podem passar despercebidos por quem não está habituado e deixar uma má impressão sobre o vinho, como se o vinho fosse ruim, quando na verdade o problema geralmente é do armazenamento da garrafa... . Quem quiser saber mais sobre os defeitos mais comuns nos vinhos, procure no blog VinhoNosso.com um ótimo artigo que escrevi no início do ano. 😉 . E bora pra próxima garrafa!! . . #defeitosdovinho #vinhonosso #tascadalmerita #ghiaianera #nerellomascalese #oxidado #vinhooxidado #oxidizedwine #oxidized #winestagram #instawine #winetime #winetasting #tastingnotes #winebottle #wineglass #wine #vinho #vino #vin #wein https://www.instagram.com/p/Br_PH6IAu7H/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g4qoj8yznnah

2010 Calabretta Vino Rosso Contrada dei Centenari Terre Siciliane IGT is one of the very best #wines I have had in a restaurant EVER. This was so good, so profound that it almost brought tears to my eyes. It was mature yet still tannic. Red berry and plum fruit with tons of earth and a bouquet that was not dissimilar from old and traditional Grand Cru Burgundy or First Growth Bordeaux. It went beautifully with our food, too. A truly profound and palate changing experience. Btw..if you are in London and don't have a meal at Luca...you are cheating yourself. Silly how good the food and the wine list are. #wine #food #italy #italia #redwine #vinorosso #sicily #sicilia #nerellomascalese #calabretta #contradadeicentenari #terresiciliane #IGT #lucalondon (at LUCA)

THURSDAY NIGHT TASTING 6-8PM: CARBONIC LOVE

CARBONIC WHAT???

Feels like FALL this morning! We stepped outside to offer some breakfast to a stray cat on our balcony and the air was cool and crisp! What better time to talk about Beaujolais? Beaujolais is a region in the southern part of Burgundy where the red wines lean away from Pinot Noir and instead focus on the lighter-bodied Gamay grape. Many of these wines are made using a method called carbonic maceration, in which the grapes sit in a container of some type with almost no oxygen and lots of carbon dioxide and undergo an intracellular fermentation (sugar to alcohol) within the grape itself! Pretty cool, very historic, and it lends these wines some of their classic fruit-driven character. Possibly because Beaujolais was where the “Natural Wine” movement began, and also because it creates lighter wines, this process has become something we see with other grapes these days and all over the world. Tonight we’ll compare several examples – two classic Beaujolais, one village level and one Cru – as well as our new most favoritest everyday sipper, the amazing Ayunta from the slopes of Sicily’s active volcano, Mount Etna. The ever-so-fabulous Mariel of Coeur Wine Company will be behind the Lions Club Bar tonight breaking your coeur with these beautiful wines. So come on down to the Shrine of Wine and party with us tonight. We’ll be serving up  WINE, BREAD, CHEESE, VINYL & LOVE!

Domaine Saint-Cyr, La Galoche Beaujolais 2018

Classic Beaujolais like we thought we’d never be buying again at this price. Raphael Saint Cyr is the fourth generation vigneron at the Domaine de Bellevue, which was created by his great-grandfather Pierre Saint Cyr in Anse at the southern edge of the Beaujolais. When Raphael took over the winemaking in 2008, he let go of a large portion of Beaujolais vines around the winery, and acquired vines further north in the crus of Morgon, Regnié, Chénas, and Moulin-à-Vent. At the same time, he converted the entire 23 hectare domaine to certified organic viticulture, making Domaine de Bellevue the largest organic domaine in the Beaujolais. Unusual for the region, the crus are all single vineyard parcels, and the name of each terroir is listed with each wine. All of the wines are vinified with natural yeasts. They are fermented in concrete tanks and then aged in used barrels for 12-18 months. La Galoche, the straight Beaujolais cuvée, is aged for 6 months in concrete tanks. From a 15 hectare plot of 25 year old vines that sit on clay-limestone soils. Hand-harvested and de-stemmed. A carbonic maceration using native yeasts for 15 days and alcoholic fermentation for 20 days, followed by 6 months aging in concrete tanks. Organic, natural, no sulfur added. WE LOVE THIS WINE, IT'S PERFECTLY DELICIOUS AND $20!

Domaine Saint Cyr, Chénas Les Journets 2017

Raphael is a relatively young winemaker, but he’s making his wines in a very traditional way. He’s also quite a cool guy, a big teddy bear who smokes too much. We describe his style as “New school old school new school” and he is friend of the Fab Four. The Chenas is profoundly mineral. Come on a Journet! ;) 100% Gamay. Sourced entirely from a new block of 40 year old vines on white granite soils, 2017 is the first vintage for Les Journets. 100% Carbonic fermentation with native yeast, followed by 8 months aging in neutral barrels. Organic, natural, no sulfur added. $36

Ayunta, Terre Siciliane Nerello Mascalese Rosso 2018 (Etna)

Did we bury the lead? Maybe. When it comes to carbonic it makes sense to talk about Beaujolais first BUT!  We could not be more excited about this frickingdelicious-amazingaffordable wine! We've been hoping for something different, and so, it turns out, has winemaker Filippo Mangione. This carbonic example of Nerello Mascalese from Mt. Etna provides another view into the area, something more wild and more freshly red-fruited, still with the telltale smoky minerality of the volcano, but more of an everyday drinker, with a price to match. This is the kind of wine winemakers produce for their families and their neighbors. Historically this style was known as “pista e’mmutta” (Meaning: press it and put in the barrel straight away). In this case, there’s a gentle pressing with short carbonic maceration followed by fermentation in a cement vat.

Ayunta is a family owned little grape farm & winery, running 2,8 hectares of old vineyards at almost 700 meters above the sea level on the northern slopes of the Mount Etna in Sicily, close to the little village of Randazzo, about one our driving north the city of Catania. Our focus is to produce wines with the best personality of the terroir and the indigenous grapes from Mount Etna. Growing up in Agrigento on Sicily’s southern coast, Filippo Mangione had winemaking in his blood. For generations his family tended vines and made wine in their palmento until his grandfather passed away in the sixties. The vineyards and building were sold off; leaving his family without an estate. After university, he dove headfirst into the world of wine: working as a waiter, sommelier, journalist, and sales/export in both the US and the UK. The more he worked selling other peoples’ wines, the more he felt the pull to revive his family’s legacy and re-establish an estate of his own. In 2011, after months of visiting and walking the slopes of Etna, Filippo happened to meet the old owner of a nearly abandoned vineyard in Calderara Sottana planted in the early 1900s behind a grove of chesnut trees. Too old to work the vineyards any longer, he was thrilled that Filippo wanted to continue his work, telling him “Take it. Don’t let this vineyard die.” Filippo spent his life savings to buy that vineyard and Ayunta was born. Their winemaking protocol is very easy: “only grapes and only time.” Organic, biodynamic, natural. $20
